Pros: Pay your bills when they're due--not ten days before.
Cons: The optional service plan ($4.95 for 12, $.40 each additonal) is high.
Summary: Just when I thought I’d given up on online bill payment forever, Yahoo Bill Pay gave me something to shout about.
Just as the value of a home depends on three things--location, location, location--the value of an online bill payment ... read more

Pros: Helps me to pay my bills on time and is easy to use.
Cons: Don't schedule too many bills so that you don't have to face the $20 overdraft-fee
Summary: I have a really bad habit of forgetting to pay my bills on time and then trying to get the bills paid without bouncing a check and having to pay the overdraft fee from my bank. Eventually it started to be a really bad thing when half my paycheck would ... read more

Pros: Free service, no float, easy to use

Pros: All your bills are paid on time, without hassle
Cons: If you can't get online, you are kind of out of luck!
Summary: I started using Yahoo bill pay a few months ago when I got my last "late payment reminder" I couldn't believe I kept forgetting to pay people. I had just gotten out of the hospital with heart failure, and the last thing I wanted to worry about was ... read more

Pros: Very Easy to use and much easier than "back in the day"
Cons: ...I wish my bank account had more money in it...
Summary: I signed up for Yahoo bill pay when it first started; I think it was about 6 months ago, and ever since I have been enjoying life more and more every month. I am a fairly lazy person, I don't mind paying my bills, but if I can't do it in under a minute ... read more

Pros: Easy to use and convenient; gets bills paid on time
Cons: Fees after 3 months; Use appears to be limited to payments in the USA
Summary: Take the hassle out of paying bills and be happy once for all. Who wants to be reminded of paying bills any way? But be patient with me here: They are a fact of our consumerist habits, especially after the holiday season. There is nothing ... read more

Pros: It's Yahoo!
Cons: None
Summary: Why Yahoo!?
For the same reason I use Yahoo! for everything else: it's fast, it's easy, it's reliable and secure and it's integrated.
Best
They have this feature called "Projected Balance" which lets you link ... read more

Pros: Easy, inexpensive, takes away worry
Cons: New payments must be scheduled 4 days in advance
Summary: Last night at about 6:00pm, I realized that I had two very large research papers due today. I had put them off, and ignored my reminders and now I was under the gun. Story of my life. I've pretty much been this way about paying my bills too. Or at ... read more

Read on for the saga but if you just want the meat of this story then DON'T USE YAHOO! BILL PAY.

Pros: Pay all bills from one central location
Cons: Customer service is horrible
Summary: Nearly two business weeks later and a 20+ and increasing email correspondence, I am still unable to view an eBill that is approaching payment. The positive side is that I have obtained an unpublished 800 number for their customer support. I promise to ... read more

Pros: Saves TONS of time, easy to use.
Cons: Not for those who might lose track of their checking account.
Summary: Yahoo Bill Pay has saved my finances from certain demise a couple of times, and saved hours of my time each week. There's no way I would go back to the old way of paying bills. I'm a very busy person, and on occasion, a date flies past without my ... read more

Pros: Scheduled payment of bills
Cons: Worthless on-line help; even worse customer service
Summary: Yahoo Bill Pay is a repackaged service from CheckFree Corporation. I believe that Navy Federal Credit Union and the US Postal Service offer substantially the same service, though Yahoo has a better deal. The real value for using this service is the ... read more

Pros: Easy to set up and use
Cons: none so far
Summary: I've been using Yahoo's bill paying service for several months. It's easy to set up accounts. You decide how much to pay and when to pay it. You can also delete payments if needed. All the payments that I've set up have been paid on time with no ... read more

Cons: They lose your money
Summary: They will lose your money. It is very difficult to get a hold of them
to fix problems. They don't fix their mistakes. You will lose money.

Pros: Yahoo site
Cons: Not 100% Bill Presentment, no 800 service number
Summary: I am a user of Yahoo's many features, but their Billpay lacks the feature of 100% bills online.
Apparently, Checkfree (used by Yahoo) will only present electronic bills on line. If you have non-electronic bills (most are non-electronic) Yahoo ... read more

Pros: easy, cheap, reliable, accurate, good customer service
Cons: payments begin processing 3 days in advance - so don't try cutting it "too close" if you know what I mean...
Summary: I signed up in October of 1999 and am completely addicted to this service! I have been a long-time member of Yahoo! (been using them since the "good-old-days") and I trust their service. In the last 6 months of using them I have never had a ... read more
